Hybrid-SAF™: Package treatment specialist WPL has landed one of its biggest-ever projects – to build the wastewater treatment plant for Castle Hill, Kent – the first phase of the Government’s new garden city to be built at Ebbsfleet Valley. The new town of Ebbsfleet is one of the most important developments in the south of England, with plans to build 15,000 new homes for a planned population of 40,000.

HiPAF®: Stuart Evans, Sill Project Director of Northumberland National Park said, “The Sill will be much more than a visitor attraction – it will enable us to reconnect with our landscapes and our heritage. It is important that we seek the highest environmental standards in all our construction and operational activity to minimise disruption to the natural beauty of the area.”

WPL Diamond: Gareth Jones, managing director of WPL said, “France is our closest trading partner and we are committed to the growth of the WPL Diamond within the French market. The technical expertise of a company like WPL is valued by our European clients, and it is a market where a high amount of technical input is required, a need which is unlikely to diminish post-Brexit.”

WPL DAF: Simon Kimber said: “One of the things that made this job challenging was the unknown composition of the black bag run-off. Household waste can contain a huge variety of substances, including animal products, medicines, chemicals, oils and food waste.”

“In a first for British Water, the Sewerage Infrastructure Off-mains Workshops will share best practice in onsite treatment along with the innovative technologies, collaborative approaches and behavioural management strategies, which will help to achieve compliance and cost savings.” – Lloyd Martin, chief executive of British Water

HiPAF®: Simon Kimber, Sales and Marketing Director for WPL said: “It’s great news for us. WPL won this contract in a highly competitively tendered framework, securing this valuable business reflects the confidence Thames Water has in our products and the service we provide.”

WPL DAF: Simon Kimber, sales and marketing director of WPL says: “What we are seeing is a significant increase in enquiries from companies that are discharging into sewers. Some industrial users are seeing rises in sewerage charges as utilities crack down on persistent polluters and become stricter about applying the Mogden formula.”

We intend to advise on discharge consent standards across England, Scotland and Wales; setting a criteria for determining a consistent quality of effluent discharged.

“This is a significant win for WPL. There were at least nine competitors in the running and it was a hard fought and lengthy process, but WPL won three of the framework agreements Scottish Water had on offer.” Simon Kimber, WPL.
